By recording your own voice, you can understand the challenges and benefits for your students to script, record and listen to their own voices. Creating audio files can also include sound effects that students create themselves or download and insert into a story's soundtrack. Writing and recording is an important element of digital stories. Try to do IT today using one of the tools linked at the bottom of this page. Several samples are included on this page.

Stories can include items that are in non-traditional formats. Students can create a screen capture as a way to share their voice of expertise using software or completing a unique task. Having a 'talking avatar' is another option for short messages or interesting statements.
